01 / The problem

Everyone will be interesting. That is the problem.

The room is too dense for random networking. You can spend the whole weekend meeting impressive founders and still miss the one person building next to your bottleneck. Jumpstart gives you a short list before the event starts.

Noise

Group chats move too fast to find real signal.

Bias

The loudest person in the room isn't always the best match.

Randomness

Hope is not a routing strategy for your next cofounder.

02 / How it works
